    Zhenjiang, Sixth Division Regiment Headquarters

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, something bad has happened. A telegram came from the Third Fleet of the Navy. The squadron they dispatched was attacked by the Chinese Air Force in the Jiangxinzhou area. They sent a farewell message to the Third Fleet Headquarters ten minutes ago!"

    "What? The dispatched squadron sent a farewell message?"

    Gu Shoufu suddenly turned around, looked at Shimono Dazuo who was walking over and said sternly.

    "That's right! Take a look! The Chinese Air Force sent out a large-scale dive bomber, and the squadron was unable to resist it. Now I'm afraid it has sunk in the Yangtze River!"

    Tan Shoufu grabbed the telegram and read it over and over again before confirming the news. At the same time, there was a trace of resentment in his eyes.

    The naval reinforcements that I had been waiting for for a long time were actually solved by the Eighty-Eighth Group Army.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander! A telegram came from the 19th Division, asking you to move the division headquarters immediately. The Eighty-Eighth Group Army's attack is so fierce that they can hardly withstand it!"

    At this moment, a chief of staff ran in again and said loudly.

    "Eight~Gah~ can't our two divisions still be able to withstand the attack of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army?"

    Gu Shoufu, who was already in a bad mood, received the news again and roared angrily.

    "Our soldiers are too tired. They have been fighting continuously for a day and a night. And the 88th Army has replaced new troops in the direction of Beicheng to continue the attack!"

    The staff officer looked at Gu Shoufu, whose eyes were red, and said hurriedly.

    "Eight~Gah~ Immediately transfer the division headquarters! At the same time, order the 22nd Division to come up immediately to fight the 88th Group Army. Order the Sixth Division to start a slow retreat!"

    Gu Shoufu knew that the casualties of the Sixth Division were already heavy enough.  Yesterday, more than 4,600 people were killed during the day, and more than 3,000 people were killed at night. This is already almost 8,000 people, plus the number of casualties that have not yet been calculated this morning.  He feels that maybe ten thousand people have been killed now!

    Ten thousand people were killed, and the loss was already more than one-third, almost close to one-half

    "Commander, this time the river squadron sent by the Japs has been destroyed. I guess the Japs will send a larger squadron up. And HNA, which is very capable of the Japs, will also be dispatched!"

    In the temporary headquarters of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, He Yuchen said to Zhou Weiguo and Yang Jie after reading the telegram sent back by the Air Force.

    After the two of them looked at each other, Zhou Weiguo said: "My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I think the Japanese navy will never come again!"

    "Why?"

    "The reason is very simple. The contradiction between the land and sea of ??the Little Devils has been going on for a long time. In this battle, the Little Devils' navy is of no benefit, and they are not very interested in supporting the army. This is because we have stationed troops here for so long, and they have not  Up the Yangtze River, it was only after we started the war that a squadron was sent out, and it was obvious with just over twenty ships. They were not enthusiastic about it.

    Now that their squadron has been killed by us, they have even more excuses not to come.  So now we can concentrate on fighting the little devil¡¯s army!  "

    Zhou Weiguo picked up the military water cup and took a drink, then looked at He Yuchen and chuckled.

    "Uh! So that's it."

    "Report to the Zhenjiang Puppetry, Legion Commander Wei Delin asks for an audience!"

    At this moment, a guard walked in from outside and said.

    "Weidlin?"

    A strange color flashed in Zhou Weiguo's eyes, as if he remembered something.

    "Let him in!"

    "yes!"

    "Chief, what position do you want to assign to Weidelin?"

    Yang Jie and Zhou Weiguo asked.

    "I haven't considered it yet. But since Weidelin can switch sides to our side, if I arrange the position too poorly, I'm afraid others will say that I, Zhou Weiguo, have no room for people."

    Zhou Weiguo pondered for a moment before continuing: "I think it would be better to give him the position of head of the garrison and see his abilities first!"

    Yang Jie and He Yuchen both nodded, thinking that it would be a good idea to arrange the position of leader of the garrison. This position is not high, but it is not low either.  And it¡¯s very maneuverable.  It is very suitable for this kind of general who has just surrendered.

    "Report! Weidelin reports to the chief!"

    Weidelin walked in, still wearing a pseudo-military uniform, with the white cloth tied on his left arm.

    "You didn't sleep all night last night?"

      Looking at Weidelin's two dark circles, he looked like an Internet-addicted young man who had stayed up all night in an Internet cafe in later generations.  The clothes on his body were also pitch black, as if they were pulled from a coal kiln.

    "Yes! After our army successfully connected with the 134th Division last night, I have been killing the Japanese with them!"

    Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Are your men the same?"

    After saying this, Weidelin's face turned red. How could he not know what his men looked like?  , he hid after answering the call last night, and only appeared in front of him this morning, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

    "It seems you still need to learn how to lead troops!"

    Zhou Weiguo patted his shoulder and chuckled.

    "Maintain, I"

    "Okay! Your subordinates are your subordinates, and you are you! I heard about the conditions you proposed at the beginning. If you want to join the Eighty-eighth Army, I will give you a special approval if you fought on the front line all night last night.  You join the Eighty-eighth Army.

    But now there are no vacancies in our combat troops.  In this case, you go back to Huainan first, and I will give you the position of leader of the garrison.  After we expand our army again, I will make arrangements based on your situation!

    As for your military rank?  I'll give you the rank of lieutenant colonel for now!  how?  "

    Zhou Weiguo looked at Weidelin in front of him and said thoughtfully.

    "Yes! Thank you, Mr. President!"

    "Well! Go down!"

    After Weidelin went down, Yang Jie looked at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Master, are you going to use this Weidelin?"

    "Haha! It seems that nothing can be hidden from Mr. Soseki!"

    Zhou Weiguo chuckled.

    "Yes, originally I was going to give him the rank of colonel and then the position of garrison commander. But I heard that he spent the night fighting on the front line last night. Today he came to see me with two dark circles under his eyes and no clothes on his body.  Change, here it comes. I know that this person is probably sincerely joining our Eighty-Eighth Group Army. In this case, I will give him a good test. If he can satisfy me, I will let him command an A-type regiment in the future.  so what?"

    "Report! The 152nd Division called. They have successfully taken over the defense area of ??the 132nd Division and are currently leading the troops to continue the attack! In addition, the 136th Division sent a telegram saying that they have occupied the headquarters of the Sixth Division, but they have evacuated! The Sixth Division has not been captured.  Division commander and others!"

    Just as Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, a staff officer walked in and said loudly.

    "Mr. Soseki! It seems that the little devil can't hold it anymore. Zhenjiang is already in our hands!"

    When Zhou Weiguo heard the news, he understood the situation of the little devil and said to Yang Jie.

    "Chief! It's time to issue an order! The Sixth Division's headquarters is in Xicheng, Zhenjiang. Occupying its headquarters means that Xicheng has basically been captured!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
